Club Pairs

On Sunday 1st June the Club held its pairs competition that was sponsored by McFadyens Contractors for the first time. The players greatly appreciated the fast pace of the Stronvaar green that rewarded well drawn bowls and this did not change despite some heavy rain during the mid part of the day. The final was contested by Robert Hendrie and Neil Maguire who had earlier beaten Shirley Bannatyne and Catherine McEachran in the semi-final and Archie Johnston and Gary Anderson who had seen off the challenge of Dugald Graham and Hugh Newlands. During his semi-final Robert sustained a knee injury but, despite severe pain, this did not curtail his bowling arm as he and Neil dominated the match to run out as comfortable winners. Presidents Jimmy and Shona Anderson presented the prizes to the players.
